This is a nonprofit organization that was formed over 30 years ago as the local chapter of Transparency International, as an initiative of a group of citizens concerned with the defense of civil rights in Argentina. Since its origins, the organization has fought for gender equality, diversity in political-parties, and social class inclusion. A shared base of common values including plurality and engagement of citizens beyond the vote strives to leave differences aside to strengthen the true value of democracy. These motivations were the central axis for which the organization was formed, in spite of and at the same time strengthened by the ideological differences among the founders. The goal is to promote citizen participation and raise public awareness about problems in society that require the commitment and participation of all. The goal of the organization is to lead the way for good government of the state, to fight for transparency in the management of public affairs, and to remain committed to invigorating the institutions of democracy.
